MINNEAPOLIS -- Coaxing his young team, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders was trying anything he could to handle the Memphis Grizzlies powerful inside duo of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph.
Saunders never could have imagined resorting to having rookie Andrew Wiggins try to bang inside with the 13-year veteran and two-time All-Star Randolph.

The Memphis Grizzlies can hardly afford to get bogged down in a lengthy losing streak in a competitive Southwest Division and will try to end their brief skid in a visit to Western Conference's last-place team.

All-Star Break lasted a little longer for the team here at GritGrindGrizz.com, but we’re back for the sprint to the playoffs, maybe even the Finals. The next step toward that goal is tonight’s battle with the L.A. Clippers. The Clippers will be looking to avenge a loss earlier this week, a game they feel they let slip away in Los Angeles. And in what is certainly disappointing...

It has been a tough season of basketball for Boogie Cousins, that much we know. Dealing with harmful viruses the past four months — the kind that plagues your body, and whatever the devilish strand is that continuously plagues the front offices in Sacramento — has predictably shortened Cousins’ already lacking sense of humor. I can’t blame the guy for being agitated. What...

The Memphis Grizzlies still lost, but not before Zach Randolph hit a 65-foot shot and made it look easier than yawning. At least Tony Allen seemed pumped about it.

DeMarcus Cousins was not particularly happy with a chair on the Sacramento Kings’ bench during Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Memphis Grizzlies were one of the league's hottest teams heading into the All-Star break, but experienced some trouble in their final two road games before that hiatus.
The Grizzlies have had fewer issues in some of their recent visits to Portland, but the Trail Blazers might get a boost from a pair of players who could make their team debuts Sunday night.

Due to the extended NBA All-Star break, the Memphis Grizzles do not play again until Sunday at Portland -- and they won't play at home until Feb. 27 against the Clippers. Here are five post-break questions to ponder in the meantime.
1. How important is it to win the majority of the final 29 games?
Look what happened in Oklahoma City before the All-Star break. Sure, the 16-point debacle...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies led by as many as 22 and beat former coach Lionel Hollins' Brooklyn Nets 95-86 on Tuesday.

On the verge of the longest win streak in franchise history, the Memphis Grizzlies have continued to play solid defense and feed the ball inside on offense.
That successful formula doesn't bode well for the low-scoring Minnesota Timberwolves, who are one of the NBA's worst teams at defending in the paint.
